Ingredients

• 12 ounces Wild-caught tuna
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.75 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Avocado oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 diced Celery stalk
• 0.25 diced Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Capers
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Drain the wild-caught tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into smaller pieces.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, make the mayonnaise by whisking together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until fully combined.

Step 3

Slowly add the olive oil and avocado oil to the egg mixture, whisking continuously, until the mixture emulsifies and thickens into a creamy mayonnaise. If necessary, use a hand blender to achieve a smoother consistency.

Step 4

Season the homemade mayonnaise with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise to the tuna, mixing well. Store any remaining mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.

Step 6

Fold in the diced celery, red onion, capers, and chopped fresh parsley until evenly distributed throughout the tuna mixture.

Step 7

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for an hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
